Short summary
This study developed a novel deep transfer learning (DTL) approach, which integrates the physical mechanisms from an analytical model using a transfer learning technique. Results indicate that the DTL model maintains satisfactory performance even in heterogeneous conditions, with uncertainties in observations and sparse training data compared to the DNN model.

This research develops a novel deep learning framework to predict streamflow in Arctic rivers dominated by frozen ground. This framework combines multiple advanced deep learning techniques with physics-based understanding of snow and ice processes. Tested on Russia's Kolyma River, it obtained more robust and accurate performance compared to existing methods, with each component contributing to improved performance.

1. A revised 3D model of solute transport is developed in the well–aquifer system. 2. The accuracy of the new model is tested against benchmark analytical solutions. 3. Previous models overestimate the concentration of solute in both aquifers and wellbores in the injection well test case. 4. Previous models underestimate the concentration in the extraction well test case.

Short summary
Water is the most important limiting factor for plants in an arid region, and plants are often suffered from drought stress during their growth. To adapt to the arid environment, plants have developed certain ways to accommodate the harsh water-deficit environments. This complex relationship is difficult to measure in the field, but Sap Flow is easily found and correlated with water usage. Our results showed that Tamarisk leaves could absorb unsaturated water vapor and precipitation directly.

Four permeable rocks with different pore sizes were considered to provide experimental evidence of Forchheimer flow and the transition between different flow regimes. The mercury injection technique was used to measure the pore size distribution, which is an essential factor for determining the flow regime, for four permeable stones. Finally, the influences of porosity and particle size on the Forchheimer coefficients were discussed.

Short summary
A newly designed Lysimeter was used to monitor deep soil recharge (DSR) of the Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica (PSM). The PSM forest has considerably changed the process of regional water redistribution. The most obvious change was the decrease of precipitation-induced recharge to groundwater. PSM in semi-arid areas will not significantly changed the transpiration due to environmental changes, especially when the annual rainfall increases, the transpiration almost unchanged.

Short summary
The Three North Forest Program has produced a vast area of lined forest in semi-arid regions, which consumes a large amount of water resources. This study uses a newly designed lysimeter to measure water distribution without destroying the in situ vegetation soil structure. It addresses the shortcomings of a traditional lysimeter, in terms of changing the in situ soil structure and destroying the vegetation root system, and the shortcomings of high costs and inconvenient installation.

This study develops a new general semi-analytical solution for three-dimensional flow in an anisotropic three-layer aquifer system induced by a partially penetrating well with time-varying discharge. The solution generalizes the cases which have already been addressed by other available papers. The flow behavior is thoroughly explored under different type of top and bottom boundaries and an exponentially decayed pumping rate. The potential application of our study is discussed in detail.

Short summary
The mechanism of radial dispersion is important for understanding reactive transport in the subsurface and for estimating aquifer parameters required in the optimization design of remediation strategies. A general model and associated analytical solutions are developed in this study. The new model represents the most recent advancement on radial dispersion studies and incorporates a host of important processes that are not taken into consideration in previous investigations.
